Myth TV [ config follows ]
PVR350 Video Out -> Svideo Out ---> Svideo In


Kernel 2.6.10
Ivtv   0.3.2

/etc/modutils/ivtv contains
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 bttv

add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c ivtv-fb
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0xff

using

ivtvctl -K 1

shows me B&W video out on the Screen

using

dd if=/dev/video0 of=/tmp/someexample.mpg

Playing that back on my laptop shows me that im getting the simple B&W 
image..

Audio is working fine.

and then
